We’re all a little worried about JUSTIN, but his grades have improved since he started going to Rocky Horror with his new friends.

He smells of candy cane wrappers, eyeliner smudges, and an oversized black licorice hoodie.

SMITHEREENA (they/she) splurged on a button-maker so she can sell unofficial merch while waiting in line at concerts. Their scent: black leather flecked with remnants of a gloopy food court cinnamon bun.

RETCH is a loyal friend once you get past his antisocial antics. His scent: unkempt oudh and hot chocolate spiked with booze from a hidden flask.

We’re leaning into our www.transanta.com fundraising this year with a series of four fragrances inspired by the tradition of goths getting their photos taken with Santa.

@drewrausch.bsky.social has truly outdone himself with the label art 🖤

Consistently, a whopping 15% of the people who open and read our emails are in Sweden! 🤯

We had no idea what to do with this information, except to toss a semlor fragrance into this year’s Lavender Kitchen series to thank you for your kind attention.

This one is inspired by true events, but we’re keeping it vague on purpose:

BOMBASTIC SUBTROPICAL TURQUOISE CREAM PIE

Before we start hyping this Yule launch, it behooves us to inform you about the free gifties we’re chucking into every order placed this Friday thru the following Monday.

Four pie-themed 1/32oz perfume oil samples which are impossible to obtain any other way! Gift ‘em or keep ‘em, we won’t tell.
A photo of four 1/32oz BPAL sample bottles, or “imps’ ears” as we like to call ‘em, arranged on a blue and green sequined fabric and surrounded by an odd bunch of cheap little plastic toys — an angel, a deep sea diver, a purple crystal, a baby, a yeti, etc.

Sorry to have neglected the ‘sky for a while — it was the overwhelm of preparing Yule 2025 (and several secret projects). But now that it’s launched we’re back, and posting hole on main!

Just spent hours slithering around in the basement trying to photograph our “The Yellow Wallpaper” fragrance series. All in a day’s work! 💛

On Saturday we return to @oddmartmn.bsky.social in Minneapolis with a treasure chest full of perfume oils, nail polish, beard oils, and other fine potions for you to try!

(Including the Tongue Wall atmosphere & linen spray, natch)
A still image from the film Dr. Caligari (1989) which features a woman stretching her tongue lasciviously toward a mouth and tongue that is straining to meet it, despite being embedded in a strange, fleshy, biomorphic surface. Test on the image reads: "NOVEMBER LUNACY at Odd Mart, Saturday Nov. 8 3-6pm. Fine Fragrance sampling & shopping, monthly event!"

Did you ever go smell something in person because of a post you read on Bluesky? This Saturday is your chance, if you’re near the Twin Cities: IRL sniffs, free samples, and sales at @oddmartmn.bsky.social from 3-6pm!
